On my firth day in Montreal, I decided to head to the biggest park in the city which is the Parc du Mont-Royal.
I saw online that it was like 700 steps to climb to get to the viewpoint and then walk around the park and I didn't fancy that at all so to avoid that I got a lyft to the highest point of the park (to the car park basically) and then walked all the way around the park and then down to the town.
Within 2 minutes of being in the park, I saw a black squirrel which was pretty cool!
I've never been to New-York, but this is apparently the equivalent in Montreal. It's HUGE and it's in the middle of the town. You'd never guess you're in the middle of town by seeing all these trees!
Seeing the town from all the way up here was really impressive !!
I had planned to go to the Musée des Beaux Arts after the park. I ended up walking through the McGill campus which is quite cool!
From there I decided to head to the musée des beaux arts.
I then walked through le village which is the LGBTQ+ neighbouhood but I didn't stay long as I was planning on going back to the old port
Saw some more cool buildings.
This is the clock tower (tour de l'horloge) and it was designed by the same people who designed big ben!
The aiport is less than 20km away from the town center so you can always see airplane.
There's a little stall at the Jacques Cartier pier that sells loads of maple syrup products so I bought loads of different products to bring home.
Canada day was approaching so they changed the flag on the big wheel.
Was craving a poutine, so I had another poutine from the food truck at the Jacques Cartier bridge I always went to.
Walked back to the hotel and was craving a sweet treat. My Canadian friend told me I absolutely had to try a Beaver Tail while I was in Canada, so I had one. I had one that was covered in milk chocolate, white chocolate and maple syrup. It was so delicious, it was very sweet but it was really nice.
